Hi to all!
I'm new to PyGTK programming (I used Tk widgets) and I'd like to know
whether it exists a way to have a multi-paned window widget. I explain
better:
I can use a gtk.HPaned() or gtk.VPaned() widget to pane 2 widgets, for
example:
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk, gobject
window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
vpaned = gtk.VPaned()
window.add(vpaned)
vpaned.show()
w1 = gtk.TextView()
w2 = gtk.TextView()
vpaned.add1(w1)
w1.show()
vpaned.add2(w2)
w2.show()
window.show()
gtk.main()
But if I have more than 2 widgets I cannot pane them into the same
window but I have to do something like this:
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk, gobject
window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
vpaned1 = gtk.VPaned()
vpaned2 = gtk.VPaned()
window.add(vpaned1)
vpaned1.show()
w1 = gtk.TextView()
w2 = gtk.TextView()
w3 = gtk.TextView()
vpaned1.add1(w1)
w1.show()
vpaned1.add2(vpaned2)
vpaned2.show()
vpaned2.add1(w2)
w2.show()
vpaned2.add2(w3)
w3.show()
window.show()
gtk.main()
But this is not what I want, 'cause in this way, if I resize w1 using
the paned1 separator, then w3 is resized too, but I'd like that w2 is
resized, letting w3 untouched (in my design, adjacent widgets would be
resized). Furthermore, for a lot of widgets to pack, the code becomes
very confused.
Does anybody know a way to make a multi-paned window as I described?
Thanks in advance.
